The CW Network is reportedly targeting Kyle Sherman as a potential color analyst for upcoming PBA Tour broadcasts.
According to a report by 11thFrame.com editor Jeff Richgels, the CW is actively looking at Sherman for the role ahead of its first season airing PBA Tour events. No deal has been announced yet.
Sherman is a two-time PBA Tour champion from Missouri and has built a strong presence both on and off the lanes. His PBA Tour titles include the 2019 Storm PBA-PWBA Striking Against Breast Cancer Mixed Doubles, alongside Amanda Greene, and the 2022 PBA Cheetah Championship. He also owns five PBA Regional Tour titles and was a member of Team USA during the 2020 and 2021 seasons.
Beyond competition, Sherman is widely known for his media work in bowling. Along with Brad Miller, he co-runs the popular YouTube channel Brad and Kyle, which focuses on bowling tips, education, and lane play. The channel has grown to more than 219,000 subscribers, making Sherman one of the most visible bowling personalities among younger fans, perfectly fitting the profile the CW Network is seeking.
The CW has already announced Rick Allen as the new play-by-play voice for PBA Tour telecasts. Allen is best known for his work in NASCAR broadcasting. If Sherman joins the booth, he would serve as the color analyst alongside Allen.
At present, Randy Pedersen continues to fill the color analyst role for PBA Tour broadcasts. If the reported plans move forward, it would likely signal a change in that position as the CW begins a new chapter of coverage.
This possible move follows another recent change in PBA broadcasting. Longtime laneside reporter Kimberly Pressler confirmed on January 21 that her time with PBA Tour telecasts had come to an end, coinciding with the tour’s transition away from FOX and toward its new broadcast partnership with the CW Network.
